Which is Better? $35 million or $1.3 billion?

The illustration above shows the current Pumpkin Hollow Site and the Proposed Pumpkin Hollow Sites.

Stage 1 Underground Mine

Nevada Copper has started construction of its 6,500 ton-per-day underground mine that will employ 300-500 construction workers and will have a permanent workforce of approximately 430 people when it begins operation in 2015-16.

*That is good, but not nearly as good as the Stage 2 Open Pit Mine

Stage 2 Open Pit Mine

If Congress passes the Lyon County Economic bill, Nevada Copper could build a 70,000 ton-per-day, open pit mine and construction and operation could start in 2016, and operation in 2018, two (2) years sooner than if the bill does not pass. It would employ 500-700 ADDITIONAL construction workers and would have a permanent workforce of approximately 950 people.

*The COMBINED underground and open pit mine would employ 1,000-1,200 construction workers. And, have a permanent workforce of approximately 1,380 people.
